A metal Galaxy S5? A plastic Galaxy S5? Samsung might release both

Look at the image above. On the left, you have a gorgeous aluminum smartphone with a premium look and feel. On the right, you have slim plastic smartphone with a removable back cover and a swappable battery. Wouldn’t it be nice to choose from both of these great options when purchasing your next handset? It looks like Samsung’s “gadget spam” strategy might finally bring us the best of both worlds next year when the hotly anticipated Galaxy S5 finally becomes a reality.

According to a listing discovered on import shipping manifest tracker Zauba by SamMobile, Samsung has just had an unreleased smartphone delivered from South Korea to India for testing purposes. The handset carries the model number “SM-G900F,” which brings about a very interesting theory.

Now, we know how much Samsung loves gadget spam. In fact, it launched eight different versions of the Galaxy S4 alone in 2013, as we noted in a recent review. The “900F” variation on this new smartphone being imported into India for testing certainly seems like a variation on the “900S” phone.
